SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Beta release for the Windows Desktop platform to support the ADO.Net Entity Framework Beta 3 and the ADO.Net Entity Framework Tools December 2007 CTP.

• Applications are freed from hard-coded dependencies on a particular data engine or storage schema
• Mappings between the conceptual application model and the storage-specific schema can change without changing the application code
• Developers can work with a consistent application object model that can be mapped to various storage schemas, possibly implemented in different database management systems
• Multiple application models can be mapped to a single storage schema
• Language-integrated query support provides compile-time syntax validation for queries against a conceptual model

For more information please see the ADO.NET Entity Framework Beta 3 Documentation and ADO.NET Entity Framework Samples
